Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, September 5.-Sev-
eral thousand people crowded the
grand stands, private boxes and
bleaching boards at Haight-street
Park this afternoon to witness the
Pioneer -Greenhood baseball game.
Lorrigan was in the box for the Pic
neers, and Borchers for the G. & Ms.
The game was mainly a contest of
pitchers from the first to the last in
ming, in which Lorrigan carried of the
honors. His delivery was excellent.
He was loudly and frequently
cheered as batsman after batsman
famed the air in an endeavor
to reach his deceptive curves. Bor-
chers also did excellent work, but
somehow the Pioneers managed to
hit him when hits were most needed.
In the first inning the Pioneers made
two runs. The G. & MS made two in
the fourth inning, which tied the
SCOIOs 4NCltuCI ClUD IlduC d
the1ixth inning, when each made one
run. In the seventh, Carroll, of the
Pioneers, secured first on an error of
Mcdonald, took second on Gagus'
out, and third on passed ball. Moore
flew out. Nick Smith then stepped
up to the plate, and the second ball
Borchers pitched the prize third base
man of the California League
drove to the club house for a clean
home run. AS he started on his tour
of the cushions, men, women and
children rose from their seats and
cheered frantically. Men threw their
hats in the air, and women waved
handkerchiefs and parasols. In this
inning the Pioneers made two runs to
the Greenhood & Moran's nothing.
No more runs were made until the
ninth inning, when the Pioneers made
three and the GREENWOOD & Moran's
two, bringing in the former club as
winners, with score of eight to five.
THE HAvERLYs DEFEAT THE ATLAS.
SACRAMENTO, September 25.-One
of the worst games of baseball ever
played in Sacramento was that to-day
between the Haverlys and Atlas. In
dividual players did we'll enough, but
the majority OF the members of the
two clubs seemed to vie with each
other as to which side could make the
most errors. The Sacramentans piled
up twelve errors to the Haverlys nine.
The old-time battery, Incell and
Hardie, were entered against the
Atlas and did effective work. The
game was good one up to the sixth
inning, the Atlas having made two runs
and the Haverlys one. In this inning,
however. the Atlas began what was
comedy of errors. Hardie was safe
on hit to left field, and Donahue was
given first on balls. Creegan hit to
Powers and was put out at first, Har-
die going to third and Donahue to sec
ond. Incell famed out. Levy hit to
Anderson, who fumbled, and Hardie
scored. Lawton struck little fly to
Newbert, which was muffed, and
Donahue scored. Hanley then hit an
easy fly to Cahill, which the latter
muffed, and Lawton and Levy scored.
Bennett hit straight to Newbert, who
juggled the ball, and Hanley scored.
Sweeny hit to Newbert, who still
again fumbled, but Sweeny was
put out in an attempt to reach second.
This made the score six to two in
favor of the Haverlys, and in the sew
enth inning the Atlas continued their
errors. Meagher and Anderson played
wretchedly, and the Haverlys added
three more runs. Mullee, overcome
by heat and disgust, quit the game,
Sears, an amateur, being put in left
field and Cahill in the box. The lat
ter did good work, striking out three
men in the eighth inning, and the
Atlas, by errors of Lawton, made
three runs. The game was won by
the Haverlys with score Of 8 to 5.
